"The bosses of such building projects had allowed that one in every ten on average would lose their lives"

Anyway, didn't they already kind of make such film in b&w era... I'm thinking about Chaplin or maybe Harold Lloyd teetering on top of building site?
From current films, I recommend "Flight" with Denzel, it's pretty good...

Latest Tarantino mess, Django Unchained kinda sucked. Nothing to do with vastly superior original Django, just another "homage" from the king of borrowers who has nothing to say or style of his own.
Not that original Django would be a masterpiece either, but at least it's more honest and has a great beginning and end.
